Abstract:
A two-wheeled trailer for automobiles has a forward bed section and a rearward bed section hingedly connected to the forward bed section. A pair of wheel assemblies, located adjacent opposite sides of the rearward bed section, are each coupled to leaf springs which in turn are detachably connected to the rearward bed section, and an elongated axle is removably fixed to each of the wheel assemblies. A forward portion of each of the leaf springs is pivotally coupled to the bed section, while a rear portion of the leaf springs is slidably received within structure connected to the bed and defining a channel in order to allow longitudinal extension of the leaf springs during loadings. A tongue assembly for coupling the trailer to a vehicle includes an elongated, tubular member pinned at a rear portion to the bed, and a front portion of the member slidably receives a tongue. A single pin connects both the tongue and the tubular member front portion to the bed.
